WELCOME TO OUR FACILITY AND FELLOWSHIP  

Come to seek; stay to find Christian fellowship.

Our faces give expression to our responses to life's challenges      as we smile, frown, glower, recoil, laugh, cry,      look serious, seem trusting, or show disbelief. These photos show the expressions of our church community as members      praise God, enjoy fellowship,      seek to understand and extend our faith,      formally accept lifelong commitments,      and participate in mission activities. Photos of church programs We want to be, and we hope you will find us to be,      a congregation of life and hope, help and love,      based on the example and love of Jesus Christ. We are not simply faces in a crowd that flows by without caring. We are the active, current members of a congregation      with a 300-year tradition of bringing God's Good News           to the individuals in our community      and bringing the individuals in our community           into a closer relationship with God. Photos of church events Come, visit our church, speak face-to-face with us,      and become a living part of our church's photo gallery!      Welcome flyer (PDF file, 2-sides of a page)

Our church -- as our faith -- has many doors.
Enter to celebrate life, to enrich your faith, and to share your talents.

OUR MISSION  is to provide worship, programs, and experiences where the astonishing love of Christ is encountered and shared. OUR VISION is to be a church where the eternal light of Christ draws people to begin, live and renew their spiritual life. OUR PRAYER:        Here may the faithful find salvation, and the careless be awakened.        Here may the doubting find faith, and the anxious be encouraged.        Here may the tempted find help, and the sorrowful comfort.        Here may the weary find rest, and the strong be renewed.        Here may the aged find consolation, and the young be inspired.                 Amen.

We seek to love God through Christ-centered worship, relevant and Biblical Christian education, and a vibrant corporate life. We seek to love our fellow church members, neighbors, and the global community through small group participation and other ministries of outreach, service and care. We all have an inherent need to be a part of a community and to be accepted by others. The church should be a place to find personal support and affirmation of self and value. The Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church provides many opportunities to experience love, hope and grace in God's family. Follow the links listed in the left column on our home page to see the many specific ways in which we serve our God, our members, our neighborhood, and the global community.

In 2006 we completed the first stage of a major expansion project,
the exterior and the 300-level interior rooms of Founders' Hall.

Helpful Notes for Visitors Founded in 1722 Red Clay has been an important part of the local community for over 280 years and has grown to over 1,000 members. Reserved Parking Spaces for first-time visitors are located next to the flagpole in the parking lot. These are close to the main entry into the sanctuary and to the entry of the adminsitrative building. Our Hospitality Desk is located in the Narthex (at the main entry, see Third Floor diagram below). The friendly and knowledgable people who staff this desk before the worship services can tell you about the life and ministries of our church. Nursery Care is provided from during worship services. See the floor plan below for the location of the nursery, which is on the same floor as the sanctuary. To get there go to the front of the sanctuary and exit by the door on the left (pulpit) side, then follow the hallway. Please turn off cell phones and pagers during the worship service to provide an uninterrupted time of worship for those around you. Restrooms are located on all three floors of the building (see diagrams below). If you are in the sanctuary, go to the front of the sanctuary and exit by the door on the left (pulpit) side, then follow the hall to the first two doors on the right.
